NAME
Bio::Sampling::Valection

VERSION
version 1.0.0

DESCRIPTION
Bio::Sampling::Valection contains a variety of algorithms for
choosing verification candidates ('calls') from competing tools or
parameterizations ('callers'), to fairly assess their performance against
each other. Originally created to select from single nucleotide variant
(SNV) calls generated by SNV mutation calling algorithms, this software
can easily be extended to other mutation types (e.g. structural variants,
gene fusions, etc.) provided data is formatted correctly. Six sampling
methods are made available to the user:

1) Random Sampling: each call has an equal probability of getting
selected.

2) Equal-per-caller: an equal number of calls is selected from each
caller.

3) Equal-per-overlap: calls are grouped the number of callers that made
the call, then an equal number of calls is selected from each group.

4) Increasing-with-overlap: the likelihood of a call getting selected is
proportional to the number of callers that made the call.

5) Decreasing-with-overlap: the likelihood of a call getting selected is
inversely proportional to the number of callers that made the call.

6) Directed sampling: a) an equal number of calls is selected from each
caller and b) the likelihood of a call getting selected is proportional
to the number of callers that made it.

INSTALLATION
This package requires the valection C library which can be downloaded from <http://labs.oicr.on.ca/boutros-lab/software/valection>. To install the C library on Linux, run:

./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

This will install the program as 'valection', as well as the libvalec library.
